- I'm even worse.
I travel plenty I think—just not usually to the largest cities.

Yeah I figured I’d get to three of my missing 4, San Diego perhaps this spring.
The 4th being El Paso.
But I’ve never actually been to a border town. Maybe it would be interesting to see.

Used to be some custom boot shops down in El Paso. Nothing like a pair of bespoke boots.
OTOH, it's been so long since I've been there, they've probably moved the city.

Makes you appreciate the population of cities like Tokyo with nearly 40 million.

I think Metro Area Population would be a better comparison. Take Columbus, for instance. It ranks #15 on your list, well ahead of even Washington, DC, but it’s only the 3rd largest metro area in it’s state, behind Cleveland and Cincinnati…

No he meant “too” sounds like “two. So is it 13 or 2?
It’s all good, it’s rare to be able to keep up with Horace’s wit.
